The Peak of the FJ Evolution

Čaj Severnoamerički FJ-4 Fury was the final and most capable iteration of the Fury series. While it shared a common ancestry with the F-86 Sabre, by the time the FJ-4 arrived, it was a completely different beast. Designed primarily for the U.S. Marine Corps as a long-range, high-speed attack aircraft, it featured a deeper fuselage for increased fuel, a completely redesigned wing, and significantly improved landing gear. It transitioned the Fury from a pure dogfighter into a versatile strike platform capable of carrying nuclear weapons.

Posada	1 (Pilot)
First Flight	October 28, 1954
Powerplant	1 × Wright J65-W-16A turbojet
Thrust	7,700 lbf (34 kN)
Maksimalna brzina	680 mph (1,094 km/h) at sea level
Naoružanje	4 × 20mm Colt Mk 12 cannons; 5 hardpoints (up to 6,000 lbs)
Missiles	AIM-9 Sidewinder (Fighter); AGM-12 Bullpup (Attack)

Redesigned for the Strike Mission

The “Deep” Fuselage: To address the short range of earlier jets, the FJ-4’s fuselage was noticeably “taller” or deeper than the FJ-1 or the F-86. This allowed it to carry 50% more internal fuel, giving it the “legs” needed for long-range interdiction.
Thinner, Cleaner Wings: The FJ-4 featured a new, thinner wing with a different airfoil shape and a “cuffed” leading edge. This improved low-speed handling for carrier approaches while reducing drag at high subsonic speeds.
All-Moving Tail: Like the F-86F, the FJ-4 used an “all-flying” tail (stabilator) which provided much better control authority when maneuvering near the speed of sound.
FJ-4B Ground Attack: The “B” variant introduced an automated flight control system and a low-altitude bombing system (LABS) specifically designed for the delivery of tactical nuclear weapons.

Operational History and the Marine Corps

The Marine’s Choice: While the Navy moved toward the F8U Crusader for air superiority, the Marine Corps leaned heavily on the FJ-4 for close air support. Its rugged design and heavy payload made it ideal for supporting troops from the deck of a carrier.
Bullpup Pioneer: The FJ-4B was the first aircraft to carry the AGM-12 Bullpup, the world’s first mass-produced guided air-to-ground missile.
Mid-Air Refueling: To further extend its range, the FJ-4 was equipped with a fixed refueling probe on the left wing, a standard feature for Naval aircraft of that era.
Preservation: Because the FJ-4 was built in significant numbers (over 370), several are preserved in the US, including examples at the National Museum of the Marine Corps i March Field Air Museum.
